Rihanna: Pop Performer Now Perfumer
January 19, 2011
Rihanna, the R&B singer and burgeoning fashionista is the latest celebrity to add her two “scents” to the fragrance world. Her debut perfume, Reb’l Fleur is a lovely mix of prime fruits and ambrosial florals, as well as a tantalizing mix of vanilla, patchouli and amber. The fragrance, as well as the packaging personifies the pop diva’s pretty-as-a-petal beauty, while highlighting her edginess.
You can get your hands on this sure-to-be Valentine’s Day must-have once it arrives in stores next month. In fact, BGG will be giving away 3 bottles from our favorite Barbadian beauty.
Available in February at retailers nationwide for $49 (1.7 oz)
Would you try this fragrance? Stay tuned, there will be a giveaway in the next few weeks!
Chicago Event Alert: Stars for Hope Pakistan Flood Relief Fundraiser
January 15, 2011
As we reflect upon last year’s devastating earthquake in Haiti, another natural disaster was nearly overlooked in the media and press – the Pakistan flood. The number of individuals affected by the flooding exceeds the combined total of individuals affected by the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, the 2005 Kashmir earthquake and the 2010 Haiti earthquake.
That’s why the organization Stars for Hope, is conducting a fundraising event in Chicago this Sunday, January 16th to help raise funds for the victims. There will be a bevy of BGs and guys in attendance including Top Chef’s Malika Ameen and Glee’s Iqbal Theba.
Visit www.starsforhope.org for more information.
So if you’re in Chicago this weekend, this event is a great opportunity to support a good cause.
Back in “The Game”
January 11, 2011
Last night I was invited to the exclusive premiere screening of my favorite scripted TV show, “The Game,” here in NYC. However, due to my absent-mindedness, I totally forgot about it! It wasn’t until about 10pm last night as I was feeding Ava that I remembered. Once you embark upon the journey of motherhood, it’s like your memory becomes complete mush! Well, since I missed the sneak peek, I definitely won’t be missing the premiere tonight airing on it’s new home, BET 10/9c.
